Band Name: The Fray
Background: Formed in Denver, Colorado, USA. The band was formed in 2002 by two schoolmates Isaac Slade and Joe King who then went on to recruit Dave Welsh and Ben Wysocki. The band where successful in the USA but it took them up until 2005 to become worldwide recognized for their music with their hit single 'How To Save A Life; which was a top five single in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
The fray's genre comes under 'pop rock' which started in the UK and the USA in the 1960's, this music is typically seen as catchy pop lyrics with a light guitar along side with light drumming and usually one more instrument (this usually being the piano) Other bands that have thought to have come under this category consists of U2. A band which the fray admit to having a huge influence from as they idolize them.
In regards to my final project i believe it is key that i don't go too close to the pop genre and make sure that i still have a balance of pop and rock as both of these are essential in creating the unique music that The Fray do.
